Nobody said it would be easy. And to answer that one rhetorically, it never is.
But 72-year-old Bob Jones of Kettle Falls and his son-in-law, Josh Rindal, made it to Nome, Alaska and the end of the fabled Iditarod Sled Dog Race last weekend.

It might be difficult for Northport High to replicate last seasonâ€™s 18-3 record, but since the Mustangs of coach Don Baribault have become accustomed to success on the baseball field over the years, donâ€™t discount anything.
NHS should be strong again, once they can get out of the gym and onto their fieldâ€”or any field for that matter.

Colville Highâ€™s high-flying softball program is certainly capable of replicatingâ€”and even improving uponâ€”last springâ€™s fourth place finish at the State 1A Tournament in Spokane.
A break here or there (remember the Connell game?) and the Indians (24-7) could have been playing for a state championship late last May. Colville finished 3-2 at State and was involved in three one-run games.
But that was last year.

There is no reason to believe that the Colville High boyâ€™s and girlâ€™s track teams wonâ€™t score their share of points again this spring around the Northeast A League.
The Colville girls, who won the NEA dual meet championship, finished a close second at the regional to Chelan and finished 10th at the State 1A meet at Eastern Washington University, certainly have enough firepower back to replicate last springâ€™s successes. Ditto for the boys, who finished 15th at State.

It is rare for a small school like Kettle Falls High to compete in dance and drill. But Kettle Falls High not only has its first-ever team, but the Bulldogs will compete March 24 at the (all divisions) State Tournament in the Yakima SunDome on March 24.
The team is coached by Carolyn Green.

Lady Lions
finish second

As expected, last Saturday nightâ€™s showdown for the State girlâ€™s 1B basketball championship came down to a battle of the top rankedâ€”three time defending champion Colton and Columbia High (28-2).
Columbia, putting together another brilliant campaign under head coach Mindy Flett, simply couldnâ€™t overcome the Colton juggernaut, losing 55-47.
With the win, Colton continues to breathe in some rarified air. There are very few teams that win one state championship, much less four in succession.
